The BESTPILOT course with KURA allowed me to move forwards and achieve my ambition of becoming a professional airline pilot.

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

I think this quote by Seneca, the famous Roman philosopher, epitomises the team at KURA Aviation, it is no accident that they have achieved such great success in the industry over the past few years. Everyone at KURA works extremely hard to help each pilot realise their potential and turn their dreams into reality with the opportunities that the BESTPILOT course enables.

My own journey through the BESTPILOT training system greatly helped enhance and refine my skills, boost my confidence and allow me to fully understand what an airline is looking for in a new First Officer. After completing modular training and searching everywhere for that elusive first flying job, enrolling on the BESTPILOT course with KURA allowed me to move forwards and achieve my ambition of becoming a professional airline pilot.

Each stage of the BESTPILOT course is backed up with extensive feedback and advice, all fostered in a relaxed, friendly and professional environment that helps bring out the best in you.

After passing KURA’s detailed, informative and demanding training program, taught by their brilliant trainers, I was 100% ready to succeed and excel at airline selection.

My chance came just before Christmas 2017, with one phone call my life has changed forever and now I’m the luckiest guy I know! I was offered a position with Flybe, Europe’s largest regional airline.
